Can we talk about the elephant in the room - Permanent Bans from the Official Forums

The way I see it if people are afraid to give their feedback on here because they’re afraid of being banned, as several have expressed, than that is a serious enough issue for a Q and A. I’m not talking about asking him to unban a specific account but make him aware that there’s something wrong with the way the forum is operating that’s causing players to withhold their feedback. After all this is one of SE’s main sources of gathering feedback from the community

Giving feedback to the forum (even when GM's directly tell you to do so) results in a ban some times.
So I guess you're right there, but I think more people just want questions that deal within the game.
I agree with Alimdia. I'm scared to say much of anything anymore lol.

Whats sad is that there must be a handful of trolls going around clicking "report" in order to get people banned for ridiculous things. I say trolls because I dont think its possible for anyone to be that much of a total snowflake. (lol anyone who legit feels threatened by "popotoes" should seek professional help)

I'd like to think that the mods look at people post history before taking action, but I kind of doubt it after seeing one of the nicer and more helpful members of the pvp community get perma banned for trying to draw attention to the bot problem.

Incidentally, the only time Ive ever reported someone was for actively encouraging botting. Ofc nothing came of it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Reported Yes that was a joke.

When i read some of the reasons why people got banned and for how long they got banned, many others in this forum have to be very lucky that they didn't get banned yet, me included.
